Hotel Fine Garden Kyoto Minami

The room smells like smoked and at first glance it looks ok but then you can see the place falling a part. This place needs updating. The staff didn’t speak English but I was able to cancel the first night, they were nice.

Friendly

Place was too expensive for a room so small that my husband and I had to take turns just to get dressed. The tub/shower is not ok for anyone with disabilities

It was great until we didn't realize our sheets in the bottom corner had feces…. Not sure where it came from also the morning breakfast was super diverse!

Hotel looks old. Room smells. Was made to change room on last night as toilet was not working ! Quite a distance to train station

There were some stains on the bed skirt (looked like lipstick) and some dust between the sheets. But overall very clean. Front desk was availabile 24hrs and were very helpful and resourceful. Very nice and big room.

The facilities are very good. Only one thing it is alittle far from the station.

El cuarto estaba muy grande y tenía todo lo necesario para hacer una estadía inolvidable y relajante

For the price I paid it was extremely good. A capsule hotel or hostel with many people in the same room costs about the same in more central areas. I got a great bathroom, and a huge room for Japanese standards. Plus you can rent a video game console for free. They also provide two free water bottles and a massage chair, plus a gambling machine which I turned off. Oh, and there's a tv in the shower room. For this cheap a price. Not bad. It's about 15 minute walk from takeda station and the area is boring. Also they made me wait 15 mins before giving me my room key. That's my only complaint. I stayed alone by the way. It felt like a regular hotel except cheaper and there's a massager for women but that's about it.

To enjoy your stay you have to accept the hotel for what it is functionally used for - a love hotel. People will rent by the hour for a little fun and then leave. They clean their rooms non-stop for the next customers. I had a little issue where my neighbour was using the "entertainment" on the tv and blasted the speakers. This was very disturbing. Luckily they were gone by the morning (an hourly / overnight rent I assume). The staff apologised sincerely and I imagine if it still happened they probably would have offered us another room. Be aware there are 'love' facilities available in the room, but I can't complain, it was roomy and overall a comfortable stay, albeit a bit out of the way from Kyoto main area. Just keep an open mind and quickly get over the seediness of the location you are in (you are in the love hotel district).

Staff were very helpful and friendly. Great experience overall.

Great hotel.

Great bath after a long day the jets feel wonderful. Not much restaurant in the area but we found a good Italian restaurant near by, very good food. It is about 15-20minutes walk to subway. Cant go wrong with this place. Dont mind the love hotel rap.

For those wondering why it’s +18 and older it’s because it is meant to accommodate those who are looking for a night or a few with a partner. It is also about a 20 min walk to the nearest station. With that being said it is actually a nice place offering many different things.

The room is not only very big for Japan standards, it included a message chair, message vibrator, couch, king bed, spa bath, poker machine, mobile phone with internet and ability to call within Japan handy for when site seeing in Kyoto. Advertised 24/7 rental of either Wii U, Playstation 4, tablet or smart phone but every time I was about either the Wii or Playstation I was told it had been booked out by another guest so that was a small let down. But still totally worth the experience for such a cheap price. Takes about 15 minutes to walk to the closest station.

Check in was easy, slight language barrier, helps to know Japanese. This is ADULTS ONLY, so prepare for a fun tie with your significant other. Room was awesome!

This place is equipped with everything you could ever want from Karaoke and PS4 rentals from the front desk (free I might add) to bubble bath and VERY nsfw TV channels. There are definitely some stains on the walls, but you really don't need to go anywhere near them since the room is so huge. There's even a TV in the bath, so your can soak and watch some anime at the same time. Breakfast was small but perfectly portioned and they bring it you discreetly in a compartment you have to open in the entryway to your room. The smoke smell is strong at first, but as long as you don't have allergies or asthma you get used to it and the vent helps. Fantastic value, perhaps one of the best in Japan.

We didn’t know this was considered a “love hotel” until just before we arrived! They were professional and very courteous! The room was spacious, which is hard to say about any other stay we have had in Japan. The food was not great but “good”. The staff found a pair of my earrings and returned them before we picked up our luggage. Very honest staff!!

Let me start off by saying this is a love hotel. I stayed here with my husband. The locals seem to have a taboo view of love hotels, as our taxi driver said it was not proper for foreigners to stay here. He also dropped us off at the back entrance like we were trying to hide something. Well he couldn't have been more wrong because this hotel was excellent. It was very clean, the room was huge, and the staff was extraordinarily friendly and helpful. There is a massaging wand above the headboard. There is a slot machine in the room, not unlike many Las Vegas hotels we've stayed at, and there is a vending machine for lingerie. That is the adult part of this hotel. If you are fine with those 3 things, then this hotel is fantastic. I am very glad we booked our stay here. The walk to Takeda Station is about 12 minutes and it is quiet and sort of romantic walk at any time of day. I definitely recommend foreign couples to stay here if they want a large, clean and friendly hotel. Just don't bring the kids.
